The Amerindian Land Titling (ALT) Project seeks to enable Amerindians to secure their lands and natural resources with a view towards sustainable social and economic development. It is expected that titling of communities will strengthen land tenure security and the expansion of the asset base of Amerindians, enabling improved long term planning for their future development.
The objective of this project is to facilitate and fast track the Amerindian Land Titling process; historically, high cost has been a barrier to achieving this policy objective. The Project seeks to a) have land titles issued and demarcation process completed for all Amerindian villages that submit requests, including those that request extensions, b) strengthen existing mechanisms to deal with unresolved land issues, c) improve the communication and outreach efforts of the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs.
The following has been accomplished under the project thus far:
